Treat your dad to a memorable outing this weekend instead of another power tool or pair of socks. It’s a busy weekend for events in New England, and you’ll find fun ways to celebrate Father’s Day (Sunday, June 18 in 2017) whether your dad’s into boats, motorcycles, music, sand sculpting or hot air balloons.
- Sail Boston 2017 (June 17-22, 2017) – Just in time for Father’s Day Weekend, a dazzling collection of tall ships will sail into Boston Harbor. The Grand Parade of Sail takes place Saturday, June 17, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., and in the days following the historic ships’ arrival, you’ll have opportunities to go aboard and to enjoy maritime activities, music and food at the Boston Fish Pier and Charlestown Navy Yard.
- 17th Annual Hampton Beach Master Sand Sculpting Classic (June 15-17, 2017) – Talented sand sculptors compete on New Hampshire’s Hampton Beach for honors and cash each year, and after the judging is complete on Saturday, June 17, there’ll be an oceanside fireworks display.
